you can use your CC through Paypal without having an account. The GB was setup through the Paypal shopping cart. I sent the URL to another member this afternoon when the last one is gone we are done.

Yo Benzo: I gave it to Jay to try out with his RennTech Stage I. I got to drive his car, too

I'm gonna grab it from him Friday. You want it back, or can we test it out on some other models?

What is going to be the regular price, and where did you purchase them from? Is there another person other then SLKFANS because I heard that he lags on sending orders.

$280 +$20 shipping He said normally he has them in stock and they will be delivered within 2 weeks. In our case it will be 2-3 weeks depending on when you ordered.

It felt great!! Not at all too jerky. the Stage 1 really pulls well. I had been riding alongside Jay some and his RT1 was pulling on me, so it was nice to drive it some.

I ordered the AMG version, so we'll see how that works along with the SC and pulleys.

If you ordered the Sprint booster by April 23rd Andy committed to shipping the first batch on April 27th. Well he delivered as promised!!! My SB just came in 20 minutes ago! Andy sent me an email last night letting me know that the 2nd shippment wich will fullfill the rest of the orders is going out tomorrow. Expect 5 days+/- for shipping.

Yo Jangy,

Where you able to compare it with the S/B on and S/B off? I'd like to hear your thoughts...... Also were u able to confirm that the kick down button gas pedal is just a dummy button.

After a week of getting used to the SB and taking it off made the car feel like a pig. I drove it a full day and was waiting on the power all day. I haven't touched the car since.

I have no clue if the kick down button is real or a dummy, but mine is removed. It is sitting in my laundry room, so if anyone knows why it belongs please let me know.

You need to get yourself a V1 it has saved me more money then the cost of admission! Look at it as an investment not a frivolous expense.

BTW The vendor is honest and trustworthy I highly recommend you make Sprint Booster Purchases from http://www.partsexporter.com .

Because the V1 sits on the dash. I hate that and want a stealth setup.

Jangy..I installed the V1 as stealthy as I could...it is mounted up by the mirror and I hard wired it to the remote readout which I installed at the base of the steering column at the dashboard..its really decent..the only thing that alerts you is the remote which is not visible to people outside the car. Others here have hardwired it remotely with great results.

Yeah, I know it can kind of be hidden and that is why I've been on the fence. The price and performance are right. Even the hardwiring is easy and the remote unit is cheap. I just can't seem to get over having the thing itself on my front windshield.
I've been looking into the fully stealth setups that have the bluetooth sensors on 4 sides.
I know I need to get some type of protection, I just can't seem to pull the trigger.

Its not ideal...but from all I have read its kind of hard to beat a V1...although I personally think its overly sensitive...

It is definitely the MOST sensitive, since the sensors are so high. Also, it is the only one that tells you which way the signal is coming from. I really like everything about it, but the mount site. If you say yours is "over" sensitive, then I do wonder if a K40 or something stealth will do?

I turn it off around malls. Usually traffic is too heavy to play anyway.
